When we arrived at the Balm, the lobby had been engulfed by a wonderful smell from the local restaurant. Unfortunately, we decided not to eat there because of their prices, high even by European standards. The check in was fast. We were sent to our room on the 3rd floor, which meant we had to go up two different staircases,... More

I stayed with my family in the Hotel Balm for only one night on the way from Luxembourg to Italy and the purpose was to be as close to St. Gotthard tunnel as possible to avoid cues during the weekend before Easter. Hotel Balm was by far the best deal we could find on the internet in the vicinity for... More

This is a tricky review to write. On the one hand, the Hotel Restaurant Balm is a very nice hotel. We had a large, spacious double room for 168 CHF (£115, $182 USD) per night, including breakfast, plus 5 CHF city tax. It was clean, modern, but had a miserable view over the car park. The rooms on the other... More

I stayed in Hotel Balm for 2 nights and was given a room which was the most spacious of my entire trip in Switzerland. The room was nice, clean and provided 2 basins in the washroom, which is something i like. However, as I was travelling there by train, the walk to the hotel was not very near near, considering...

We had a good meal here. The terrace is pleasing with a good view to the mountains on the far side of the lake. Our grouse is the increasing annoyance with the charging for tap water even if you order wine. Rather sheepishly our waitress asked whether we wanted a half litre or a litre of tap water! Can you...

The hotel is just 10 minutes of bus from the little but so beautiful Luzern, a swiss jewel! We enjoyed so much the great large breakfast buffet and the room, very comfortable, silent and clean. Sure we'll coming back, thank you. More

For four years I travel by car from Holland to Italy for the holidays. My stop-over is then this hotel, a few kilometers from Luzern. From all the rooms you can see the lake and the mountains. They have 2 restaurants, a basic one (I always go there) and a more classy one. The last time I was there, august... More

enjoyed a great stay for only two days in this hotel right on the lake lucerne. You can really feel, that it is family run which makes it sympatic. Great restaurant too. Importent for me: was just minutes away from lucerne and still outside. Was perfect for a business stay. Work in the day and feel on vacation in the... More

This is a difficult hotel to review. On the plus side the service is very good and restaurant (though wildly over priced) is excellent with very friendly staff to help you with the strange world of Swiss wine. However the rooms are strangely modernist, without luxury and unless you are lucky don’t really seem to have views. All of which... More
